For executive directors and directors of development to be effective in their diverse roles, it is essential that they have a strong understanding of nonprofit finance. It is critical to building a robust and thorough development plan. This webinar will review the cornerstone components of nonprofit financial literacy to provide participants with an introduction to these key topics.

Executive director transitions happen,
whether or not we are ready. Without preparation, the impact of unplanned or
planned transitions can throw an organization off course. This workshop will
help board leadership better understand the succession planning process and identify
issues that might be considered in a succession plan including staff and board
development, budgeting, interim leadership and managing a hiring process.
